you can apply from NY

If you already applied then you need to pick up the phone and call the Canadian Embassy in Sri Lanka. (Or wherever it is that you filled out paperwork and paid: there’s a lot of scam agencies out there!)

Yes but no.
Their website FAQ about International Orders doesn’t make a whole lot of sense:

"On canada.forever21.com, orders can be placed from outside of Canada, however shipping address must be within Canada. We do not ship orders internationally. If you would like to ship your order outside of Canada, please visit canada.forever21.com" – http://canada.forever21.com/CustomerServ??

No such luck. Try it, and when you get to the checkout, it only lets you enter a Canadian address.

Shawn Robin is right! I had the same deal happen this summer with Banana Republic: the gorgeous green color was not available on the USA site!

Probably

Major roads are all patrolled, plowed and sanded, which should include highway 37 to the Alaska Highway. I’ve not been that far myself, only to Prince George. www.drivebc.ca has live updates, webcams etc.

Highways can be closed due to avalanche, heavy snowfall etc. sometimes for a day or more, but that’s generally in the Rockies on the Trans-Canada.

By spring break I think the snow’s mostly gone, though – at least further south.

In early March, it will still be pretty cold.At -25C or colder, the ice and snow does not melt as you drive on it, so, it is not slippery.So, Yukon will be fine.But, BC is a lot warmer, especially in the south. There will be spots where you would need to take care, that’s for sure.It depends a lot on where you go – Canada is a HUGE country.

Up around the Yukon and the upper B.C. area there will be much snow and surprise Blizzards-just like in Alaska that time of year. Have a nice day!

Try to look up to Yukon, or better go to other places there like in Vancouver.

It really does depend where you come through. Coming in through theNorth you would probably be okay, but it does depend on your route.

If it’s bc and Yukon then the roads can be a little scary… It all depends where you are driving

it really depends on what part of canada you plan on driving in… and how early in march… but id think youd normally be ok…

Ah. The roads from Alaska can be iffy in March. Once you get down to Prince George, it’s pretty clear sailing.

When I renew my permanent residency, does my days lived in Canada renew or would it still continue at 2 years which means I can apply for a permanent residency in a year or so?

Your permanent resident status isn’t expiring, just your PR card.

Generally speaking, after 3 years of residing in Canada you can apply for citizenship. The 3 out of 4 year thing just allows for some flexibility.

No, but you should make sure your pills come in bottles that clearly identify what they are – and depending on the kind of medicine you are taking, it wouldn’t hurt to have a prescription handy. You won’t be able to fill it in Canada (it has to be prescribed by a Canadian doctor in order to be filled in Canada) but you can show customs and immigration that it is a prescription drug. Especially if narcotics are involved.

Medicines need to be transported in the original pharmacy bottle, with the label containing your information, as well as the drug and dosage, intact. You don’t need to be carrying around the actual prescription from your doctor, but you do need proof they are your medicines and in the amounts specified.

No, just to buy them.

We tip restaurant servers – usually it’s 15% give or take, depending on how good the service was…though there are debates whether it’s 15% before taxes or after taxes…and in Ontario at least the ‘before taxes’ crowd usually just added on the taxes again (because the combined Federal and Provincial taxes were 15% until a couple years ago), but now that the Federal tax has dropped from 7% to 5%, many folks still haven’t dropped the habit and are now tipping 13% instead of 15%…funny, when a tax break means that servers get paid less.

We also tip hotel staff, bartenders, taxi drivers, pizza delivery folks, hairdressers/barbers…and I guess certain types of dancer as well, not that I know anything about that…

However, outside of those select few, it’s not really customary.In Canada, when somebody is polite and helpful, it isn’t because they expect a nice crisp bill (or coin, as the case may be) in their hand afterwards.I was quite surprised when traveling recently and finding just how broadly tips were expected, for things that, in Canada, would just be basic customer service.

ETA:Just a comment on Dowling’s answer about servers not getting paid by the employer:In most (all?) Provinces, servers have a reduced minimum wage, and they pretty much never get raises above that, because of the reality (not just the expectation) that most of their income will be from tips.

Yes we tip in Canada but not as much as the States. In the States it is not polite it is expected because waitresses get only tips but they can’t do that in Canada. If you are an employer you must pay a wage.

I think it is wrong to expect the public to pay a waitresses wages. and let the employer pay nothing to their employee. When I was in the States one time I heard a waitress complain about cheap Canadians. I stopped her and said "I’m Canadian and in Canada our waitresses receive a wage. Don’t blame Canadians if your system is different. A tip is supposed to be for services rendered not your only source of income."

We tip for other services too like the hairdresser or bell boy but it is usually 10 to 15 %

Yes, it is standardized to tip in Canada. Usually restaurant tipping is around 15%.

It depends where you go. In Montreal, Quebec, if you don’t tip after a service (especially after getting served at a bar or nightclub) they will say something to you like "Oh, I’m sorry, but tip was not included. I require a tip", and even sometimes a sarcastic "Thanks for not tipping!", both of which are illegal. If you don’t tip in Montreal, you will not be served again. The rest of Canada — English Canada — does not appear to be like this. It is just common practice to tip for service in Canada.

Tipping is much less prevelant in Canada.

Tipping in restaurants is common – typically 10-15%.Some will tip hair dressers, or barbers, and maybe hotel bellmen (in fancy places).But, not to the same level as in the USA.

I was a tour guide the last 2 summers, and my American guests usually tipped me.Canadians did typcially only when they saw the Americans do it.Aussies, and Europeans rarely did.

Sure we do. Like others have said, its 15% for people in the service industry. I even tip when I have pizza/food delivered to my home, even though I already pay a delivery fee.

I tip everyone, and generously.
It’s nice to be nice.

Tipping is common in restaurants, but certainly not in as many other places as Americans tip – and nothing like the way Mexicans tip.

Impolite not to tip at least 15% for reasonable service, in Canada.

Expected indeed. Waiters, cab drivers etc,. The usual.

We do tip 11% and that’s the rule.
